Brace Yourself
On early Fords like the Mustang or Fairlane, the shock tower braces often end up in the way when you're doing underhood modifications such as EFI or a different carb and air cleaner setup. These braces are very important to your car's structural integrity and can't be eliminated. One solution is to fabricate smaller braces to replace the factory units. The Windsor-Fox braces shown here have aircraft-type Heim joints, which makes them adjustable, and will clear almost any underhood modification.
